| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to clutches, and more particularly to clutches employed in vehicle drivelines.
A clutch assembly having multiple separator plates and friction plates. The separator plates include springs for causing sequential engagement of the friction plates and/or a gradual engagement of friction plates by tipping one of the separator plates during the initial clutch engagement. This allows for a controlled gradual engagement of the clutch in a relatively short time. |
